Review
"This how-to book provides you with beneficial information, even if you aren't looking to make professional films or videos. The book breaks down the entire process. The authors have created an indespensable tool for any producer, regardless of experience level. - Videomaker Magazine, May 2001 A thoughtful and comprehensive guide to all aspects of making a short film. I wish a practical, nuts-and-bolts guide like this had existed when I was a film student.-Susan Seidelman, director, Desperately Seeking Susan, Smithereens, and Sex in the City A veritable bible, valuable for both the short and feature filmmaker. It's as good as a year in most film schools.-Jon Davison, producer, Airplane, Robocop, and Starship Troopers Without question, the definitive book on the film production. A long-awaited, necessary map to the young filmmaker in his journey through the mine fields of movie making. I would keep it next to the viewfinder.-Michael Pressman, film director, producer of The Practice, Chicago Hope, and Picket Fences This volume will easily become an indispensable source book for both students and practicing filmmakers. The wealth of information on all aspects of film production is truly impressive. The quoted filmmakers' notes and the practical examples of their production problems illustrate very well the ideas and recommendations of this book.-Kris Malkiewicz, film professor, California Institute of the Arts, author of Cinematography
Product Description
Considered by many to be the definitive book on the subject, Producing and Directing the Short Film and Video, Second Edition clearly illustrates all of the steps involved in preproduction, production, postproduction, and distribution. Its unique two-fold approach looks at filmmaking from the perspectives of both producer and director, and explains how their separate energies must combine to create a successful short film or video-all the way from script to final product. This guide offers extensive examples from two award-winning short narrative films (Lunch Date and Truman) and one short documentary (Mirror Mirror), and includes insightful quotes from the filmmakers themselves describing the problems they encountered and how they solved them. This edition expands on the director's role in pre-visualizing a project, aided by the addition of more than 50 new photos and illustrations. Issues such as storyboarding, lighting, and composition are addressed in detail. Other additions and enhancements include a discussion of the evolving role of digital technology on all aspects of production from script to screen. Producing and Directing the Short Film and Video, Second Edition is accompanied by a companion website (www focalpress.com/companions) containing useful forms and information on grants and financing sources, distributors, film and video festivals, film schools, internet sources for short works, and professional associations. Whether you're a student or an independent filmmaker, this practical guide will demystify the process, and help you to develop and sharpen your skills as you tackle the challenges of making a short film or video.
